"The best built post war Chevrolet"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Timing gear broke at 80,000.

A little rust in the trunk.

General comments?

The car handles like a truck and is slow on the freeway, but it was never built for freeway. This car was designed for 2 lane roads, paved and otherwise.

This car flies on dirt roads; you don't even feel bumps on the soft bench seat. The gearing is low, so it is kind of quick off the line, for the first second or two.

It is made of solid steel, the nose is plain, and the rear end design is beautiful. I drove this car on a daily while in college and it never let me down.

Someone in my area has a Fleetline that they don't seem to use much, and I was considering attempting to buy it. Any suggestions?
